Embodiment Construction

[0014]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an electronic device with an exemplary cover latching system is shown. The electronic device includes a housing 10 and a cover 20 mounted to the housing 10. The cover latching system includes a mounting element 30 positioned on the cover 20, an operating element 40 slidably mounted to the mounting element, a latching hole15 defined in the housing 10, and two elastic elements 50 located between the cover 20 and the operating element 40.

[0015]The housing 10 defines a receiving groove 16 for receiving the cover 20, and a chamber 17 for accommodating a battery. The operating element 40 latches in the latching hole 15 to fix the cover 20 to the housing 10.

[0016]The mounting element 30 includes a mounting groove 31 and two resisting blocks 33 respectively protruding from opposite inner wall surfaces of the mounting groove 31. Referring to FIG. 3, the operating element 40 includes a latching body 41, and two retaining blocks 42 protruding from the latching...

Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing defining a latching hole, a cover, and an operating element slidably mounted to the cover. The operating element includes a latching body and a key protruding from the latching body. The latching body is latched in the latching hole to latch the cover to the housing. When the key is slid in a first direction, the latching body slides out of the latching hole and releases the cover from the housing.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The disclosure generally relates to cover latching systems and electronic devices using the cover latching systems.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Batteries are widely used in electronic devices, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs), and cellular phones. A typical latching structure is used to latch a battery cover to the electronic device to secure the battery between the battery cover and the electronic device. However, moving parts of a typical latching structure may be very stiff and hard to manipulate in use.[0005]Therefore, there is a room for improvement within the art.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0006]Many aspects of the exemplary cover latching system can be better understood with reference to the following drawings. These drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the exemplary cover latching system and electronic device using the cove...
